Sunday night, Hwy 58 had many downed trees, some of which were high enough for vehicles (not trucks) to drive under...before they closed the highway. Photo: Facebook/Esther Doty

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - I-5 traffic northbound is moving again at the MP 172 back-up, south of Cottage Grove. ODOT and utility crews are working to remove downed line across the southbound lanes. No ETO but it should be soon.

U.S. 101 is closed at MP 343, 12 miles north of Brookings due to sunken grade. No ETO. No detour.
